Hello Creative Army!

Over the past 13 years, we here at Stage 32 have been thrilled to be recognized throughout the industry as the leaders in online film craft and business education. We are honored to be partnered with some of the most prestigious film festivals and markets in the world including the American Film Market and the Cannes Film Festival Marché du film to name a few.

Now, for the 9th year in a row, we are thrilled to be joining forces with one of the few Oscar-qualifying short film festivals in the land, Hollyshorts Film Festival. We have an exciting week of events lined up at the HollyShorts Film Festival beginning August 8th! If you are in or around the Los Angeles area, you are more than welcome to come join us for any one or all of our special Stage 32 panels, parties and screenings! PLUS! Stage 32 members get a 25% off discount on tickets!

"HollyShorts is the benchmark most up-and-comers are striving for - and the festival is impressively dedicated to advancing the careers of its filmmakers", says Daniel Sol, Co-Founder of HollyShorts. "We are equally impressed, dedicated and also thrilled in our partnership with Stage 32, the only platform worldwide that is connecting and educating filmmakers through its social network and incredibly supportive community. Through this exciting alliance, we pledge to enable the learning and continued success of all filmmakers, worldwide."

"Stage 32's continued mission is to provide film creatives across the globe opportunity, access and education designed to advance their careers", says Stage 32 Founder & CEO, Richard Botto. "We are thrilled to partner with Hollyshorts and are excited to share in their continued commitment toward helping filmmakers shorten their path to success."
